Tremendous Vic Bees postcard. Any idea where it was taken? According to Tom H's write-up at the Safeco "Pacific Northwest Baseball" exhibit, "The Victoria team played in a ballpark at the end of the streetcar line at Windsor Park in the neighbouring community of Oak Bay." (I notice that tricky Canuck Tom slipped a "u" into neighbor). I live 1/4 mile from Windsor Park and there is no topography nearby like there is beyond centerfield. Tom is not one to make unsubstantiated statements which makes me wonder if the photo was shot at one of the other Northwestern League ballparks, perhaps Bellingham.

In other news, you ever seen a McDonald Obak before?

Nice Obak, David. Instead of "Ten Million" we can name it "Ten Kawika".

Probably not Bellingham, as their lone year in the Northwestern League was 1905. I've not tried to match it up with other NWL parks, but will see what I can figure out, and let you know.

That McDonald Victoria Obak is stellar, but I'd REALLY like to get my hands on the Mac T4

to those that have sent e-mails in regards to the victor mills postcard, thanks for your inquiries.

in that this postcard represents the earliest jackson related item ever recognized (and likely ever to be recognized) by psa or sgc, i would prefer to retain it at this time. that said, if an offer were to be made that was too good to pass up, i would be foolish not to accept it. absent that, it is not being offered for sale at this time.

Simply stunning. Thank you for sharing. I would love to hear the back story on this pc. Did you find it in a Carolina flea market? Where did it come from?

Congrats on a wonderful team image. Southern teams are hard to find pre 1910. Adding Joe to it, is utterly ridiculous.

Haven't checked-in with this thread in about a week. Thanks for the amazing surprise RMACPA. I was scrolling down and my eye went to Joe Jackson and my jaw dropped. Would have written about nine minutes sooner but was in a catatonic state.

Would love to know anything more you feel like telling about this card. Mainly did you find it in S. carolina area and is there any interesting note if postally used?

Thanks for posting.

(Okay so now it's Christy shaking hands with Rube followed by Joe Jackson Victor Mills. No, no, it's Joe Jackson first THEN I would want the Christy..... sigh.)

Default Ty and Cy

Image 1: Game action real photo postcards of Ty Cobb taken by spectators are exceedingly scarce (I know of just one other). Image 2: I don't recall ever seeing a real photo postcard of Cy Young from during his playing days, and this one is noteworthy as it is among his last photos as a major leaguer.

In the first image, Ty Cobb is shown at bat in an outstanding photo snapped by a spectator who wrote on the back of the postcard, "I may not be able to Ty Cobb but I can snap him. Taken at the Wilkes Barre and Detroit game Sunday, Sept. 24-11." Just before the end of the 1911 season, at about the time the Detroit Tigers were eliminated from the pennant race, the Tigers visited Boulevard Park for a game with the home town Wilkes Barre Barons, champions of the New York State League. The Tigers prevailed 3-2, according to a box score of the game. Cobb went 0-3, so this image probably shows him recording an out. His teammate Sam Crawford was 4-4. Behind the plate that day for the Barons (and behind Cobb in this image) was Joe Briger, whose minor league career spanned 1907-1925.

In the second image, Cy Young stands wearing a Boston Braves uniform in 1912. His statistics show his last year as 1911, but he was a member of the 1912 team until he effectively retired after arm trouble prevented him from making his first appearance on May 23 at Pittsburgh. That makes this image among the last taken of him as a major leaguer. The year 1912 can be isolated by the word Boston appearing across the uniform front and an Indian head logo on the left shoulder. The team surrounding him is unidentified. If you have any information on their identity please let me know.

IMHO, this is one of the all-time-great threads - hope it never dies!

This photo of WaJo dates to the late summer of 1912, when the Senators players wore black arm bands following the death of team co-owner and president Thomas C. Noyes. A 3'+ tall rendition of this photo hung inside Griffith Stadium for many years, and it was auctioned by Legendary in November 2010 - http://www.legendaryauctions.com/Lot...ntoryid=111077

A WaJo fan has written of the back of this PC, "pitched his first World Series game on the below date" - the date this fan wrote, October 3, 1924, is incorrect - WaJo pitched the first game, which took place on October 4th. But, the fan did correctly note that WaJo lost 2 games and won 1 game (the 7th game) of the Series.

Despite its pathetic condition, I really like this PC. Unless my "CRS" memory is failing me again, I have never seen another example of this PC. Has anyone else ever seen one?

First in War, First in Peace, and (very infrequently!) FIRST in the American League!
